The Eastern Orthodox Church (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, etc.) is the modern name commonly applied to the ancient, theologically unified, multinational Christian communion that views itself as:
* The historical, unbroken continuation of the original Christian community established by Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles, having preserved the apostolic traditions handed down to them, and having maintained unbroken the link between its clergy and the Apostles by means of Apostolic Succession.
* The ecclesial communion which has never fallen into error nor deviated from the beliefs and traditions of the original Christian body, but rather has gone to great lengths to preserve them for future generations. All theological concepts, all explanations and expansions are compared to and validated by the original core beliefs; no deviation is allowed.
* The Christian body which most closely adheres to the canons of the first seven ecumenical councils held between the 4th and the 8th centuries.
